preferred method, using products which are non-cationic and have a pH level less than 10. Non-approved
cleaning products or treatments will void the warranty. Thorough vacuuming is highly recommended
prior to all hot water extraction.
CAUTION
No other household cleaners or other ingredients should be used other than those recommended
specifically for carpet since they may contain chemicals that could damage your carpet.
If you are uncertain what type of spot cleaner you should use, start by gently using a volatile dry-cleaning
solvent as described in suggested method "C" on next page.
If you know what type of stain you are going to treat, please follow the specific recommendations for the
type of stain to be treated by using the cleaning methods on the “Suggested Spot Removal Guide” below.
Never apply these products directly to the spot you are trying to clean. Instead, apply them to a clean,
white absorbent towel and blot clean.
Use only a small amount of the liquid cleaner to slightly wet the carpet fiber and not the backing. Avoid
over-wetting since it may transfer the stain to the carpet backing and prolong the cleaning treatment
unnecessarily.
